What does the acronym ATT&CK stand for?

  • AAdversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge
  • BAdvanced Threat Tracking and Cyber Kill-chain
  • CAutomated Testing of Tactics and Countermeasure Knowledge
  • DAdversary Targeting, Triage, and Containment Knowledgebase

Why this is the answer

ATT&CK = Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge — a curated knowledge base of real-world adversary behavior maintained by MITRE. It is not a kill-chain model (that is Lockheed Martin), not an automated testing suite, and not an incident-triage playbook.
